title = {Designing and Evaluation of the Local Cardiovascular Terms Coding System Based on Concept Mapping}, 
abstract ={Introduction: The Importance of disease classification for facilitating medical research is clear. The Medical diagnosis classification is usually done through International Classification of Disease (ICD) system. Sometimes, diagnostic terms in medical records require to be replaced by equivalent term according to international classification of disease system. In order to optimize the patient’ medical records, using information technology, especially designing and developing application in classification of local medical diagnosis are recommended. This research aimed to identify local cardiovascular diagnoses and develop an application for classification and coding them. Method: This research is an applied study, conducted on 500 medical records in Mashhad Imam Reza and Ghaem hospitals. After that, the concept mapping developed between diagnostic terms and the ICD terms. Data were collected through observation, interview, and checklist, and then the application was developed for coding diagnoses. Furthermore, the coding agreement coefficient related to first and second final diagnoses recorded in medical records was calculated among three raters via interclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Results: In this research, 1081 codes were investigated and 676 diagnoses of them were recorded in the record summary form. The number of the local diagnoses and abbreviations with their codes were 147 cases. The coding agreement rate among raters was 70% and 88% in the first and second final diagnosis, respectively. Conclusion: Due to the excellent agreement between raters about the local cardiovascular terms performed through the coding application, it can be concluded that the designed application has high reliability in coding and can be used for classification of diagnoses in different hospital departments.},

abstract ={Introduction: Gastric cancer is the second cause of death from cancer after lung cancer in the world It`s incidence is varied in different regions of the words. Due to the prevalence rate of the disease and high mortality rates for gastric cancer in the country, it is necessary to examine the influential factors in the incidence of this disease by more accurately and scientific methods. The purpose of this study is to examine this factor with data mining techniques. Method: The required data for this study was collected from patients referring to Imam Reza Hospital, Tabriz. After applying data pre-processing, totally 490 records were collected in an Excel file samples including 220 cancer cases and 270 normal specimens. The best rules based on the datasets were extracted by using Apriori algorithm implemented in MATLAB software and final data set. Results: In this study, gastric cancer datasets and features affecting the incidence of this disease have been used for the first time. The results showed that risk for gastric cancer in people with cardiovascular disease are less‌. In addition, gastric reflux is associated with not using salt and milk, and high salt intake. Gastric reflux has also the most influence on creating this disease. Some rules were obtained by using Apriori algorithm that can be used as a model to predict the status of patients and the incidence of this disease. Conclusion: Nowadays Due to massive amounts of medical data, knowledge can be extracted from datasets by using data mining approach. In this study, some rules were extracted by using Apriori algorithm that can provide physicians with great help to examine the causes of this disease.},

title = {Systematic Design of the Minimum Data Set Storage: An Essential Need to Create Purposed for Archiving}, 
abstract ={Introduction: Medical records are considered as an essential element of patient’s health care provision. Due to a rising service provision by healthcare centers, there is an increase in the medical record loads as well. It has led to a series of problems‌, such as limited physical space, records wearing and an increased need for resources. Moreover, the most important efficiency of records, which is their application in clinical research, is questioned. In the present study, researchers have presented a model of minimum data sets which helps to index and electronically archive hard-copy records according to the selected data and metadata. Method: This study was an applied research type, conducted in three stages in 2013 via modified Delphi technique. Target population consisted of specialists working in hospitals. As the sample, 8 physicians who were specialists or subspecialists participated in interviews and filled out checklist surveys. The collected data were later analyzed using Excel 2013. Results: The results show that data elements such as “final diagnosis” and “operations and others” were the most common items considered by the physicians in clinical follow up, and most common medical records was “operation’s repots” . Finding significant correlation among physician’s research questions was not possible due to large variety of subjects. Conclusion: The researchers presented a framework of minimum data sets for a purposive archiving of records for clinical and research-based applications. This framework can act as the applied goal setting of the retrieval model based on physicians’ clinical requirements in their medical follow-ups. Furthermore, considering physicians’ needs for accessing records through analyzing their probable requests can provide a possibility of data retrieval in diverse conditions.},

title = {Factors Associated with Length of Hospital Stay: A Systematic Review}, 
abstract ={Introduction: The Length of Stay (LOS) in the hospital is used as an indirect indicator of resources consumption and efficiency in hospitals. Identifying factors associated with this systematic review can be valuable in planning to optimize the utilization of the existing resources. The goal of the present study was to investigate factors associated with length of stay and it has been conducted as a systematic review. Method: In this systematic review, papers were retrieved by the use of specified key terms in their titles and no restricted time in Persian and English databases. Papers were selected according to how they were in line with the criteria for inclusion and exclusion and finally, information were extracted and entered to Excel 2010 software for analysis.  Results: 18 articles out of 347 were selected. These studies introduced four criteria associated with length of stay including clinical, demographic, administrative, and hospital factors. Applied methods for identifying these criteria were statistical techniques and data mining techniques such as decision tree regression and artificial neural networks. The goal of all studies was making a new model for identifying factors associated with LOS or was evaluating other methods introduced in other studies. Conclusion: Findings of this study represent that identifying factors associated with LOS can be variable according to data collection place, studied variables, and applied data mining techniques. So we suggest researchers to help hospital managers and planners with identifying and reducing factors associated with LOS.},
